Thank you to all for joining into the HIV Cure Summit on September 30th 2026 as we delved into the question 'How do we prepare for a HIV Cure?'

To all participants, speakers and moderators: you brought forth the reality of what a cure will take, from science to financing to the leadership of people living with HIV.

Did you know that HIV cure research has developed largely around subtype B and high-income settings while subtype C accounts for nearly half of all HIV infections worldwide?

A cure built for part of the epidemic answers only part of the question that should be driving it.

The HIV Cure Summit brings scientists, governments, funders and PLHIV leaders into one room to ensure policies, systems, investments all point towards an equitable HIV cure.

Register for tomorrow's HIV Cure Summit.

In November 2025, GNP+ held a cure webinar: The Science of HIV Cure — What Communities Need to Know.

One line from that conversation has stayed: “HIV cure is no longer a distant idea. We have to shift from just waiting for it.” — Elina Mwasinga

Communities engaged. Priorities set with us, not for us. Voices heard, not consulted after the fact. Accessible, not just possible.

Almost a year on, the conversation continues.

Undetectable = Untransmittable is proven science that changed what HIV means for transmission.

The PLHIV Stigma Index found that more than 80% of people living with HIV across 35 countries have experienced internalised or self-stigma, that it directly affects treatment adherence and retention in care.

Self-stigma is measured against six statements (Table 1):
-Difficulty telling people their status (70.8%)
-Hiding their status from others (67.6%)
-Shame at being HIV-positive (37.6% — the Global AIDS Monitoring indicator)
-Guilt (36.6%)
-Feeling worthless (30.2%)
-Feeling "dirty" (23.1%)

Mental health support remains essential for HIV care. Without it, U=U is a fact people know and still don't believe about themselves.

It's the Global Week for Action on NCDs, themed 'Time to Lead', and for people living with HIV this a critical conversation.

Over 13% of people living with HIV are now aged 50 and above, a share UNAIDS projects will triple by 2030.

Chronic inflammation associated with HIV can raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer; for women living with HIV, cervical cancer risk is 6 times higher, alongside earlier and more severe menopause.

As GNP+ Executive Director Florence Riako Anam said at a recent World Health Organization side event: 'We must not survive HIV only to die from preventable or treatable co-morbidities and co-infections.'

Our focus remains on strengthening universal health coverage and integrated care that works for all and ensures early screening, detection and management of non-communicable diseases.

Last week's conversation was about what it actually means to live with HIV and be met with care that works for you: not five queues, but one system.

Here's what we heard, together: Integration means your care fits your life, not the other way around, and community-led spaces are often the first door in. Self-care means information, tools, and an environment where you're not choosing between food and medicine, or dignity and access.

And the ~10.7 million of PLHIV not yet virally suppressed? The 2026 Political Declaration was written about us, so we're going to keep naming the gap until it's closed.

This week, we're going deeper: TB and HIV care in one visit, mental health as part of your treatment plan and on Friday, World Sexual Health Day, because your sexual health is about more than a diagnosis.

Follow along, share this with someone who needs to hear it, tag a friend, or tell us your own story in the comments. 🧡

Self-care means taking consistent responsibility for your health: adhering to treatment, showing up to appointments, protecting your wellbeing, even when the system makes that difficult.

That's how GNP+ CoED, Florence, put it at a recent global dialogue on self-care and health equity. Two things make it possible: Knowledge, in time to act on it.

Did you know women living with HIV face 6x higher risk of cervical cancer, yet many still don't know they need screening?

Tools you can use on your own terms. HIV self-testing, take-home screening kits, PrEP, which turn 'services exist' into 'services actually reach you,' especially when clinics are far or stigma is high. What information or tool has made the biggest difference for you? Tell us below. #
